[RC] Easyboot sizing ?? - Laurie Durgin

Do you always use the same size easyboot on your horse? Like if they are right at the end of a size and they have a little hoof growth, do you rasp them and put on their normal size or do you use the next size up, or do you wait till they wear down to that size?
This is on a barefoot horse. Transitioning from shoes on front only. But will need boots for gravel etc. or when they wear down.Also not sure with moving/ with a farrier issue.
I have gotten 2 different foot measurements when ordering boots.The width seems to be the same , but the length changes. So do you get boots for the longer length (he is right on the border)-- Or do you keep your horse "worn" to the same measurements? .
He fit the old #OO perfect- but they changed the hoof boot sizing . It still seemed to be the same, but when I got the boots they were shorter, and his measurements changed from when i took the old ones , which were on shod feet, to the new measurements, since I Pulled his shoes. So I realised they were too short, and when comparing the boots, they are more round and shorter in the new #OO. So I am sending them back for the #O.'s
Or do you just get bunches (??) of sizes and see what fits at the time?


2nd question , we have a older TB who may occasionaly get ridden -but pulled his shoes . He gets ouchey on rocks-- But he measures witdth wise --#0 but lengthwise ##2 --- long narrow feet. Would #2 easyboots work on him? or is there another choice? This would be something I'd get , probably used --incase we wanted to take him out on a short trailride and wanted some protection .

Basically trying to get the hand of using them.
